Antonio Conte brings in fit-again Victor Moses and reverts to Nemanja Matic in the Chelsea midfield. Craig Shakespeare rotates ahead of Leicester City’s European D-Day and Middlesbrough coach Steve Agnew switches to a defensive three but still can’t buy a win.

Here’s the first instalment of our Gameweek 32 teamsheet summary, outlining the trends and tactics on show and offering early insight into the likely line-ups to come next weekend.

Bournemouth

Starting XI: Boruc, Adam Smith, Francis, Steve Cook, Daniels, Fraser (Gradel 84), Arter, Wilshere, Pugh (Ibe 71), King, Afobe (Mousset 77).

  • Eddie Howe made one change from the side that drew 2-2 against Liverpool for the home clash against Chelsea, with Ryan Fraser handed a recall in place of Jordon Ibe.
  • Fraser returned on the right side of midfield in the 4-4-2 formation used by the Cherries’ boss. Josh King and Benik Afobe continued their blossoming partnership in attack.
  • Howe’s first substitution saw Ibe brought on for Marc Pugh. Ibe played down the right flank, with Fraser temporarily moving to the left, although he made way for Max Gradel for the final six minutes. The other change saw youngster Lys Mousset take over from Afobe up front with 13 minutes remaining.
  • Dan Gosling missed a second consecutive match due to a knock but, if he’s fit for Saturday’s trip to Spurs, could push for a recall in central midfield. Ibe appears to be edging back into favour under Howe, so he could be an option to start out wide at White Hart Lane in place of either Pugh or Fraser.

Risk Areas: Central Midfield, Flanks

Burnley

Starting XI: Heaton, Lowton, Mee, Keane, Ward, Boyd, Hendrick, Barton, Brady, Barnes (Tarkowski 90); Gray (Vokes 62).

  • Clarets’ boss Sean Dyche made two changes from the side that beat Stoke City for the trip to Middlesbrough. Robbie Brady and Ashley Barnes were recalled in place of Sam Vokes and Steven Defour, with the latter missing out with a thigh problem.
  • Brady started on the left of the four-man midfield, with Barnes stationed just behind lone striker Andre Gray in the 4-4-1-1 formation.
  • Dyche made his first move just after the hour mark, with Vokes introduced in place of Gray in a straight swap. James Tarkowski then entered the fray late on, replacing Barnes in a defensive substitution. Tarkowski slotted in next to Michael Keane and Ben Mee in central defence to form a 5-4-1, with the visitors happy to hold on for a point by that stage.
  • With Brady, Scott Arfield and Defour all vying for the starting spot on the left wing, Dyche could continue to rotate in that position. The Clarets face a trip to Everton next and Defour could push for a recall if available. Gray has been substituted in his last three appearances, so while he should keep hold of his starting role, Vokes is a viable alternative in attack.

Risk Areas: Left Wing, Forwards

Chelsea

Starting XI: Courtois, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Cahill, Moses (Zouma 90+2), Kante, Matic, Alonso, Pedro (Willian 88), Costa, Hazard (Fabregas 84).

  • Antonio Conte made two alterations for the trip to Bournemouth, with Nemanja Matic and the fit-again Victor Moses starting in place of Cesc Fabregas and Kurt Zouma.
  • Matic returned alongside N’Gole Kante in central midfield in the usual 3-4-3 formation, with Moses slotting in at right wing-back. That allowed Cesar Azpilicueta to start in the three-man backline, alongside David Luiz and Gary Cahill.
  • All three of Conte’s substitutions were made during the latter stages at the Vitality Stadium. Fabregas and Willian took over from Eden Hazard and Pedro in straight swaps, while Zouma was handed a brief run-out late on in place of Moses.
  • With Moses back to full fitness, the only real selection dilemma likely to be faced by the Chelsea manager is who to start in the middle of the park alongside Kante. The Blues travel to Manchester United on Sunday, so that fixture could be more suited to the more defensive-minded Matic than Fabregas.

Current Status: Settled
Risk Areas: Central Midfield

Everton

Starting XI: Robles, Holgate, Pennington, Jagielka, Baines: Gueye, Schneiderlin (Barry 73), Mirallas, Barkley, Davies: Lukaku.

  • Ronald Koeman made two changes from the side that drew 1-1 against Manchester United for the home fixture with Leicester City. Matthew Pennington replaced the suspended Ashley Williams, while the fit-again Morgan Schneiderlin came in for Gareth Barry.
  • Pennington partnered Phil Jagielka in central defence and Schneiderlin formed part of a three-man midfield, playing just behind Idrissa Gueye and Tom Davies. Ross Barkley and Kevin Mirallas played as central attacking midfielders behind lone striker Romelu Lukaku, creating more of a 4-3-2-1 formation.
  • Koeman only made one substitution, with Barry brought on to provide some fresh legs in place of Schneiderlin for the final 17 minutes.
  • Williams will be available for the visit of Burnley to Goodison Park following his one-match ban, so he’s likely to return in place of Pennington in central defence. Koeman may keep faith in the same midfield trio, although Barry is a viable alternative. Likewise, Dominic Calvert-Lewin could challenge Mirallas for a starting spot.

Risk Areas: Central Defence, Central Midfield, Attacking Midfield

Hull City

Starting XI: Jakupovic, Elmohamady, Dawson, Ranocchia, Robertson, Grosicki, N’Diaye, Clucas (Henriksen 58), Markovic, Niasse (Maloney 82), Evandro (Hernandez 58).

  • Tigers’ head coach Marco Silva made two changes for the trip to The Etihad, with Michael Dawson replacing the injured Harry Maguire, while the fit-again Evandro was recalled in place of Abel Hernandez.
  • Dawson started alongside Andrea Ranocchia in central defence and Evandro was stationed next to Alfred N’Diaye and Sam Clucas in a three-man midfield. Lazar Markovic (right) and Kamil Grosicki (left) flanked central striker Oumar Niasse.
  • With his side trailing 2-0, Silva made a double substitution just before the hour mark, with Markus Henriksen and Hernandez introduced in place of Clucas and Evandro. Henriksen joined N’Diaye in central midfield and Hernandez played next to Niasse in attack, seeing the visitors switch to a 4-4-2 formation. The final substitution saw Shaun Maloney replace Niasse. Maloney played in more of a No 10 role as Hull ended the match in a 4-2-3-1.
  • Maguire missed the trip to The Etihad with a knee injury picked up during the 4-2 win over Middlesbrough. If he remains out for Saturday’s trip to Stoke City, Dawson or Curtis Davies should partner Ranocchia in central defence. If Silva opts for a 4-3-3, the front six could stay unchanged. But if he wants to incorporate Hernandez in the starting XI, he may have to sacrifice Evandro, to allow the Uruguayan to partner Niasse in attack in a 4-4-2.

Risk Areas: Central Defence, Central Midfield, Forwards

Leicester City

Starting XI: Schmeichel, Amartey, Benalouane, Huth, Chilwell, Albrighton (Ulloa 78), Drinkwater, King, Gray (Mahrez 61), Vardy (Musa 61), Slimani.

  • Manager Craig Shakespeare made five changes for the trip to Goodison Park, with Daniel Amartey, Ben Chilwell, Marc Albrighton, Andy King and Islam Slimani replacing Danny Simpson, Christian Fuchs, Riyad Mahrez, Wilfred Ndidi and Shinji Okazaki.
  • Amartey and Chilwell slotted in at right-back and left-back respectively, while Albrighton started on the right side of midfield. King joined Danny Drinkwater in the middle of the park and Slimani partnered Jamie Vardy up front in the 4-4-2 formation.
  • Just after the hour mark, Shakespeare decided to introduce Mahrez and Ahmed Musa for Demarai Gray and Vardy. Mahrez played in his usual position on the right wing, with Albrighton switching flanks. Musa operated down the middle next to Slimani. As a final roll of the dice, Shakespeare brought on Leonardo Ulloa for Albrighton, with Musa then drifting over to the left to allow Ulloa to combine with Slimani up front.
  • The Foxes’ Champions League quarter-final first leg clash against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday persuaded Shakespeare to rotate his side against Everton. With Saturday’s trip to Crystal Palace sandwiched between the two European ties, there is a strong likelihood he’ll do something similar at Selhurst Park. Amartey and Chilwell could keep their places, then, with King and Slimani others who may be handed another start. Marcin Wasilewski and Musa could also come into the reckoning.

Current Status: Very Unsettled
Risk Areas: Full-Backs, Central Midfield, Flanks, Forwards

Liverpool

Starting XI: Mignolet, Lovren, Matip, Klavan; Alexander-Arnold (Coutinho 46), Milner, Can, Wijnaldum, Clyne, Woodburn (Firmino 46), Origi (Sturridge 68).

  • Jurgen Klopp made three alterations for the trip to Stoke City, with Joel Matip, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ben Woodburn replacing Lucas Leiva, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino.
  • Those changes saw Liverpool line up in an unfamiliar 3-5-2 formation. Matip joined Dejan Lovren and Ragnar Klavan in central defence, with Alexander-Arnold (right) and Nathaniel Clyne (left) operating as wing-backs. James Milner was handed a central midfield role next to Emre Can and Georginio Wijnaldum, with Woodburn joining Divock Origi in attack.
  • But with his side trailing 1-0 at half-time, Klopp decided to bring on Coutinho and Firmino in place of Alexander-Arnold and Woodburn. The Brazilian duo flanked central striker Origi, while Clyne moved to right wing-back, seeing the Reds switch to a 3-4-3. The final substitution saw Daniel Sturridge take over from Origi as the central striker for the final 22 minutes.
  • After playing three matches in a week, Klopp could return to his usual 4-3-3 formation for Sunday’s trip to West Bromwich Albion. Coutinho and Firmino should start alongside Origi in attack, then, with Sturridge and Woodburn the alternatives. Lucas may be handed a recall in central midfield, unless the Liverpool manager considers using 3-4-3 from the start at The Hawthorns, with Can and Wijnaldum combining in central midfield.

Risk Areas: Central Defence, Central Midfield

Manchester City

Starting XI: Bravo, Navas, Stones, Kolarov, Clichy, Toure (Fernando 74), Delph, Sterling, Silva (Iheanacho 72), Sane (Nolito 66), Aguero.

  • Pep Guardiola made four changes from the side that lost 2-1 to Chelsea for the home clash against Hull City, with Claudio Bravo, Aleksandar Kolarov, Yaya Toure and Raheem Sterling starting at the expense of Willy Caballero, Vincent Kompany, Fernandinho and Kevin De Bruyne.
  • Kolarov returned to partner John Stones in central defence, while Toure sat alongside Fabian Delph at the base of midfield in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Sterling was stationed on the right of the attacking midfield trio, with Sergio Aguero operating as the lone striker for City.
  • Guardiola’s first change saw Nolito take over from Leroy Sane on the left wing for the final 24 minutes. Kelechi Iheanacho then replaced David Silva in the No 10 role, with the final substitution seeing Fernando come on for Toure in a straight swap.
  • It’s in central defence where Guardiola looks most likely to continue to rotate, with Nicolas Otamendi and Kompany viable alternatives to Stones and Kolarov. Jesus Navas and Gael Clichy have been regular starters in the full-back positions of late, and may continue to remain in favour. Fernandinho, along with De Bruyne, could well earn recalls when the Citizens travel to Southampton on Saturday, so they may replace Toure and Delph in a 4-1-4-1 formation.

Current Status: Slightly Unsettled
Risk Areas: Central Defence, Central Midfield

Manchester United

Starting XI: Romero, Damian, Bailly, Rojo, Shaw (Blind 61), Fellaini, Herrera, Pogba, Lingard (Rashford 64), Mkhitaryan (Martial 78), Ibrahimovic.

  • United boss Jose Mourinho made five changes for the trip to Sunderland, with Sergio Romero, Matteo Darmian, Luke Shaw, Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan starting at the expense of David de Gea, Ashley Young, Daley Blind, Michael Carrick and Marcus Rashford.
  • Mourinho switched to a 4-3-2-1 system at the Stadium of Light, with Pogba starting on the left of the central midfield trio. Mkhitaryan played in a central attacking midfield role behind lone striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Darmian and Shaw slotted in at right-back and left-back respectively.
  • Shaw was the first player to make way for United, with Blind taking over at left-back shortly after the hour mark. Rashford then replaced Lingard, seeing United switch to a 4-3-1-2 as the youngster joined Ibrahimovic in attack. Anthony Martial was handed a few minutes late on in place of Mkhitaryan.
  • Mourinho chose to rotate his side ahead of United’s Europa League quarter-final first leg at Anderlecht, but it remains to be seen if he’ll repeat the move next weekend, given that leaders Chelsea are the visitors to Old Trafford. De Gea missed out due to a minor hip problem, but he, along with Antonio Valencia, who sat out a second successive match, should be available if selected. Carrick provides another option in central midfield, while Rashford and Martial are viable alternatives in attack. Blind may also push for a recall at left-back in place of Shaw.

Current Status: Unsettled
Risk Areas: Goalkeeper, Full-Backs, Central Midfield, Attacking Midfield

Middlesbrough

Starting XI: Valdes, Bernardo (Bamford 83), Ayala, Gibson, Barragan, Clayton, Leadbitter, Forshaw, Downing, Gestede (Traore 69), Stuani (Negredo 58).

  • Steve Agnew made four changes for the home encounter against Burnley, with Bernardo Espinosa, Grant Leadbitter, Adam Forshaw and Cristhian Stuani starting in place of James Husband, Marten de Roon, Adama Traore and Alvaro Negredo.
  • Those changes saw Boro switch from a 4-4-2 to a 3-5-2 system, with Bernardo joining Daniel Ayala and Ben Gibson in the three-man defence. Antonio Barragan and Stewart Downing operated in the wing-back positions, while Forshaw linked up with Adam Clayton and Grant Leadbitter in central midfield. Stuani partnered Rudy Gestede in attack.
  • But with the match goalless, Agnew decided to introduce Negredo in place of Stuani just before the hour mark in a straight swap. Gestede then made way for Traore, although the substitute, who normally plays wide on the right, remained in a fairly central role. As a final roll of the dice, the Boro head coach threw on Patrick Bamford for Bernardo, seeing the home side end the match in a 4-4-2, with Bamford joining Negredo in attack, while Traore moved to the right wing.
  • After failing to register three points once again, Agnew could consider changing systems for the visit of Arsenal to the Riverside a week today. Much will depend on whether Fabio (concussion) or George Friend (calf) are fit to return. Calum Chambers won’t be eligible to play against his parent club, though. But with matches running out, it’s likely Agnew will continue to play with two forwards, so Negredo may earn a recall in place of Stuani. If he opts for a 4-4-2, Traore should push for a start on the right, with Downing perhaps on the left if Fabio or Friend are available to play at left-back. Gaston Ramirez would be another option to play on the left if he can recover from an ankle injury. De Roon was surprisingly dropped last weekend, but after playing three matches in six days, that might have been due to fatigue. He should return to the starting XI against the Gunners, then, perhaps joining Clayton in the middle of the park.

    Want to work out your ML rival transfers?

    I've seen plenty of posts on here of people wanting help working out their rival transfers and it's far more simple than you think. During the Chilli Bowl I realised this and we used it to scout our opponents (not that it helped!). (Personally I don't like doing this, I think making "blocking" transfers to cancel out possible rival advantages is a very negative strategy, but I understand that when it comes to money it can be the best way to maintain a lead should you know what option(s) an opponent has taken.)

    http://i.imgur.com/Jzf33rF.jpg

    One common misconception is that you need to know "money ITB" before transfers were made - not the case. All you need to know is the squad value from the last GW (which can be found by adding up the value of each player from the previous GW, found in their information box), the current squad value (displayed on their page, ignoring money ITB, and then "R" which is net rise/fall of players in your squad, excluding those bought/sold as they are already factored into the SV. R is easy to track with the EVENTS tab on fplstatistics.co.uk.

    It's then simply a case of trial and error (which isn't too hard as you can make reasonable inferences about what players might have been bought/sold) to make the equation balance. If they've made one transfer, you only need CPsold and CPpurchased once in your equation; if two then you need to use it as written in the photo; if three then minus another CPs and add another CPp etc. Obviously more transfers makes it more difficult to balance.

    I hope this helps someone, I'm putting this out here just because people seem to think it's far more complicated than it actually is. Let me know if there are any questions.

      Have to say that - in my book - it's a grey area.

      Not saying it is cheating, but certainly not saying it is playing like a gentleman.

      Guess the game is allowing some sort of transparency to your opponents' teams (which I think is a mistake), but does that mean that you should exploit it?

        you could say FFFix is grey area to, surprised people actually use stuff like that. The fun of this game is making the decisions yourself, and finding out if your right or wrong. Im nerver going to captain someone because a computer told me so. People actually pay for stuff like that?

        Thing is there is only so much you can do to police a game involving maths without it becoming completely rigid. Look at how poker has changed over the years, from bricks and mortar card rooms to heads up displays, tracking software and equity calculators. A long time ago it was, as you say a "grey area" to have a HUD, now it is common and even necessary for professionals.

    You know this season of fantasy they introduced the chips bench boost, triple captain, aoa or was it the season before? I dont remember. But is anyone scared that one season they are going to change something and lietrally mess it all up and go to far? And ruin the game, im genuinely nervous. Hope they dont change anything drastic, they can change aoa for something better but apart from that I dont think they need to do anything else. It will probably end upo like call of duty eventually and you need to pay to win or some bs

      I think microtransactions would kill FPL, I don't see how they could add them. As for the chips, I only started last season so they're all I know! Same for everyone but yes, makes variance much bigger. I hope they change AOA to "auto-captain", but I think the TC & BB are good and chips help to keep new players interested.

      I think drastic changes could improve the game, but not of the kind that would introduce more complexity or chance. Just basic overhauls based on the current model such as points structures, player positions, WCs rules, price changes and how you chose your team based on these positions. I'm open to that at least, but I agree about chips. I dont think they'll drastically change that by introducing more complexity.

                yea its a bit odd, we are much closer to France then Enlgand but we are British.The British, French and Germans all had it at one point. Despite being British and having British passports and speaking english etc, our relationship with the rest of the united kingdom is an odd one and very complicated. We generally follow how the uk does stuff, but not everything especially our finance and banking sector. We are an off-shore tax haven, the kind of place Pogba hides 100mil

    How many players are people having for DGW34, if they don't have WC??

    I'm thinking max five for me: Ibra Valencia Zaha Chambers and maybe Valdes. Is that too much with no WC intact??

        Negredo will only start one game IMO because he's quite old, example being this weekend. Benteke is good, but don't think I'd want two attackers from a team playing Spurs and Liverpool away.

      Repost #Infinity :

      This would be my team for next GW. Should I save FT and take 3 hits if needed next GW for a -4?

      Henessey
      Yoshida - Valencia - Alonso
      Sanchez - Alli - Pedro - Eriksen
      Costa - Kaku - Origi

      ( Jak - Gibson - Fletcher - Holgate) 1 FT and 1.9 ITB

      I was thinking of Ibra for Costa for the DGW and degrade Pedro based on how he performs against United also giving me a chance to monitor Son. So should I save this week?

              That's my tactic from now on also, hoping to get through rest of the season with zero hits, though I may get tempted to make a single hit for a DGW35 player.

              Do you find your hits on average pay off after a few weeks (or even straight away?) or do they more often than not backfire?

                More often than not backfire, more due to the sheer quantity per week of hits I was taking earlier on which is of course more risky. It's just far more safe to avoid any hit whatsoever and I've more than taken my fair share of hits this season.

              Thanks very much! It has been going mostly well on the hit front. Some clangers but mostly good.

              Top 100 is the aim, would love that, but with only a BB and no TC left I may struggle, we'll see 🙂

              You're having a great season too- pretty nice constant upward curve in GW rankings, whether you've been taking hits or not.

        1ft 0.2itb

        A) Cahill and Firmino and A.Carroll --> Holgate and Zaha and Kane for -8
        B) Ibra and T.Carroll and Cahill --> Holgate Kane Zaha for -8 and play AOA, and do Lukaku to Ibra GW34
        C) Ibra and Firmino to Kane and Zaha , then Lukaku to Ibra GW34
        D) Ibra to Kane
        E) other???

        A gives me a better defence for gw33 since I only have Davies who has a good fixture this week, and also gives me Zaha for the double.

            Previous post was distracted by other issues. Here's a more simplified choice.
            Option 1: no kane for gw33
            GW33: benteke lukaku
            GW34: benteke ibra lukaku

            Option 2.1: no ibra dgw
            GW33: Kane lukaku
            Gw34: Kane lukaku benteke (-4) or

            Option 2.2:
            Gw33: Kane lukaku
            Gw 34: Kane ibra origi (-4)

            Obviously option 2.2 is only if origi keeps his place in gw33 n did well. Even then, taking lukaku out against west ham seems silly given his record.

            Zaha, Alli, Sanchez, Hazard, King
            Ibra, Kane, Anichebe

            £0.4m

                King to de roon and u would be left with anichebe and de roon fighting for the 7th slot. Not ideal.

                  He could still play a 3-4-3 or 4-4-2 or any with 5 defenders. Alonso is a season-keeper

                  I have dropped to 2nd and narrowly still in 1st in two of my leagues. Got stung with Walker / Valencia, along with Siggy and Llorente blanks in the last couple of weeks. Rivals had Vardy, King and Coutinho

                  Does my defence need tinkering with prep for DGW and rotation?
                  Walker / Valencia / Cahill / McAuley / Love

                  Rest of my team is
                  Heaton / Jaku
                  King / Sanchez / Alli / Snodgrass / Davies
                  Kane / Lukaku / Llorente

                  Already moved out Costa and Siggy for Kane + King I have 1.0M ITB and 0FT. Depending on how Sanchez does tonight, I may replace him for Walcott and bring in Ibra for Lorrente with the funds.
                  Any news on Gabbiadini for a straight replacement for Llorente in time for DGW34?

                      West ham is actually quite decent away. Looks risky, esp eriksen may cover Kane. Agree with SYD. Any other midfield u can lose?
